Translation of the song lyrics Quand est c'qu'on fait l'amour - Serge Lama

Quand est c'qu'on fait l'amour (original)

On se disait des mots
Le soir dans les bistrots,
On se confiait des choses
Qui disaient pas grand-chose,
Pas grand-chose,
On se disait les gens,
On se disait l’argent,
On parlait, on parlait
Et puis on reparlait
Quand nos rves pensaient.
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
On se parlait d’un lieu,
On se parlait d’un Dieu,
On se disait… Un jour
On s’attardait au bar,
On s’appuyait au tard,
On s’agrippait aux peurs
Qui tranglaient nos coeurs,
Qui touffaient nos coeurs,
On s’accrochait aux mots
Pour viter nos peaux,
Alors que tout priait,
Alors que tout criait
Et que tout suppliait
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
On se parlait d’un lieu?
On se parlait d’un Dieu?
On se disait… Un jour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait…
On se parlait de ceux
Qui ne croient plus en eux,
On parlait, on parlait
Puis on en reparlait
Quand le vrai sujet c’tait…
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
Quand est-c'qu'on fait l’amour?
On se parlait d’un lieu,
On se parlait d’un Dieu,
On se quittait toujours
On n’a pas fait l’amour,
On n’a pas fait l’amour,
On parlait jusqu’au jour,
On n’a pas fait l’amour,
On se parlait d’un lieu,
On se parlait d’un Dieu,
On se quittait toujours.

(translation)

We said words to each other
In the evening in the bistros,
We confided in each other things
Who didn't say much
Not much,
People said to each other,
We said the money,
We were talking, we were talking
And then we would talk again
When our dreams were thinking.
When do we make love?
When do we make love?
We were talking about a place,
We were talking about a God,
We thought... One day
We lingered at the bar,
We relied late,
We were clinging to fears
Who strangled our hearts,
that suffocated our hearts,
We were hanging on to the words
To avoid our skins,
While all was praying,
While everything was screaming
And everything was begging
When do we make love?
When do we make love?
We were talking about a place?
We were talking about a God?
We were thinking... One day?
When do we make love?
When do we make love?
When do we do...
We were talking about those
Who no longer believe in them,
We were talking, we were talking
Then we would talk about it
When the real subject was...
When do we make love?
When do we make love?
When do we make love?
We were talking about a place,
We were talking about a God,
We always parted
We didn't make love
We didn't make love
We talked till daylight,
We didn't make love
We were talking about a place,
We were talking about a God,
We always left each other.
